Last You Heard Of Me
Joyce Manor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the second time this year
Wrote my song down, gave it to the guy
Then went to grab another beer
Sonia's going to the parking lot
Probably gonna smoke some weed
I'd go with but I don't touch the stuff
You step outside to have a cigarette
Smokers crowd into the street
Digging through your purse for matches when
For a second our eyes meet
And in the moment I see everything
Start to finish, sad defeat
Shivering, lying naked next to you
And that's the last you heard of me
And that's the last you heard of me
And that's the last you heard of me
And that's the last you heard of me
In "Last You Heard Of Me" by Joyce Manor, the lyrics depict a scene where the singer finds themselves at the Alibi, presumably a bar or a similar establishment. It is mentioned that this is the second time they have been there this year. The singer writes a song, gives it to someone, and then heads to get another beer.
The focus then shifts to Sonia, who is mentioned to be going to the parking lot to smoke weed. The singer notes that they do not partake in drug use unless they want to sleep. This mention may imply a sense of distance or disinterest in certain activities that others engage in.
As the scene continues, the singer steps outside to have a cigarette. They observe the crowd of smokers in the street and engage in a momentary interaction with someone. This interaction takes place while they are searching for matches in their purse, and their eyes briefly meet.
In that fleeting moment, the singer experiences a rush of memories and emotions. They see everything from beginning to end, accompanied by a sense of tragic defeat. There is a vivid image of shivering and lying naked next to someone, perhaps referencing a vulnerable and intimate moment. This encounter appears to mark the end of their connection, as the closing lines repeat the phrase "And that's the last you heard of me."

It's the second time I've been here in a year
Wrote my song down, gave it to the guy
I wrote down my song and handed it over to someone
Then went to grab another beer
Afterward, I went to get another beer
Sonia's going to the parking lot
Sonia is heading towards the parking lot
Probably gonna smoke some weed
Most likely, she's going to smoke marijuana

Unless I want to fall asleep
You step outside to have a cigarette
You go outside to smoke a cigarette
Smokers crowd into the street
Other smokers gather in the street
Digging through your purse for matches when
As you search through your purse for matches, something happens
For a second our eyes meet
Briefly, our gazes meet
And in the moment I see everything
In that instant, I comprehend everything
Start to finish, sad defeat
From beginning to end, it's a heartbreaking failure
Shivering, lying naked next to you
Trembling, I'm lying unclothed beside you
And that's the last you heard of me
And that's the final communication you received from me
And that's the last you heard of me
That's the end of our interaction
And that's the last you heard of me
And that's the conclusion of our relationship

Probably gonna smoke some weed.

Unless I wanna go to sleep.
You step outside to have a cigarette.
Smokers crowd into the street
Digging through your purse for matches when
When for a second our eyes meet
And in the moment I see everything
Start to finish, sad defeat.
Shivering, lying naked next to you
And that's the last you heard of me.
Ahh ah ahh ah.
And that's the last you heard of me.
Ahh ah ahh ah.
And that's the last you heard of me.
Ahh ahh ahh ah.
And that's the last you heard of me.
